What my grandfather started out of expediency, my father continued out of love. He brought me up the same way: to reverence the music, and the drama, and the rituals of the old gods; to love nature and to fear it, and to rely on it and to appease it when necessary. He brought me up–” Sergeant Howie: “He brought you up to be a pagan!” Lord Summerisle: “A heathen conceivably but, not I hope, an unenlightened one.” Album: The White Year: 2008

Liquor’s bitter flames warm my languid soul. Here I drink alone and remember, a graven life, The stain of her memory. In this cup, love’s poison, For love is the poison of life. Tip the cup, feed the fire, And forget about useless fucking hope… Lost in the desolation of love, The passions we reap and sow. Lost in the desolation of life, This path that we walk. Here’s to love, the sickness, The great martyr of the soul. Here’s to life, the vice, The great herald of misery. In this cup, spiritus frumenti, For this is the nectar of the spirit. Quench the thirst, drown the sorrow, And forget about cold yesterdays. Lost in the desolation of love, The passions we reap and sow. Lost in the desolation of life, This path that we walk. Lost in the desolation of love, The sorrows we reap and sow. Lost in the desolation of life, The path that we walk. Album: The Mantle Year: 2002

Life is a clay urn on the mantle, And I am scattered on the floor. We are the wounds, And the great, cold death of the earth… “Earth is floating on the waters like an island, hanging from four rawhide ropes. Fastened at the top of the sacred four directions. The ropes are tied to the ceiling of the sky. When the ropes break, This world will come tumbling down, And all living things will fall with it, And die…” Life is a clay urn on the mantle, And I am the fragments on the floor. Life is a clay urn on the mantle, And I am the ashes on the floor. We are the wounds, And the great, cold death of the earth. Darkness and silence, The light shall flicker out… Album: The Mantle Year: 2002

A girl arose that had red mournful lips And seemed the greatness of the world in tears, Doomed like Odysseus and the labouring ships And proud as Priam murdered with his peers; Arose, and on the instant clamorous eaves, A climbing moon upon an empty sky, And all that lamentation of the leaves, Could but compose man’s image and his cry.

Agalloch – She Painted Fire Across the Skyline Pt. 1

My life has been left hollow and ashes have filled the gorge of my within. Last night I hoped and wished I’d die in my sleep, But no catharsis was granted to me. Will this pain ever pass? The enchanting perfumes of winter and the bleak, cold breath of her still haunt me. So half of me rode to the mountains and the other half soared high in the winds to a place where the angels had fallen, The soil gagged and choked on their wings. My soul was the pale skyline that she stretched across the horizon. Two years had brought the fire that she paints upon my loathsome canvas. Album: Pale Folklore Year: 1999
